When will you release the 1.6 version please ? I'm
very busy now and I won't be able to work on the
french traduction till mid august.
I also would like to traduce in french the gretl
homepage, but I don't know anything about html. Would
it be possible for me to send just a raw text file ?
I'm at last in a position to do a build of gretl on
an
up-to-date version of OS X (namely 10.4.6).
Mac users: please find a 1.6.0 pre-release at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl-1.6.0pre.dmg
This package us supposed to be independent of fink
(though it
was built with the help of fink). To give it a true
test,
therefore, it's necessary to mask fink, if you have
it
installed. On my system I do this with
# prior to testing gretl
sudo /bin/mv /sw /hidden-sw
# then after testing gretl
sudo /bin/mv /hidden-sw /sw
There are also .dmg packages for X-12-ARIMA and
TRAMO/SEATS for
ppc:

New subject: translation for 1.6 (Re: gretl 1.6.0-pre for OS X (Allin Cottrell))

I also will need at least a week to do the German translation of the new
stuff. If you give me more time, I might also be able to summarize the
test statistic calculator discussion we had earlier (for the documentation).
As I said already, given the version number jump I think the new version
shouldn't be rushed out and could use a little time for testing; I'll do
my best to help with that.
Cheers,
Sven
(Jack: good luck tonight, but remember what happened to those who kicked
out the Italian hosts in the semi-finals?)

I don't think we're in a great rush. Some more testing would be
good, and it would also be nice to have new translations in
place.
I also would like to traduce in french the gretl homepage, but
I don't know anything about html. Would it be possible for me

Yes, that would be OK. It should be easy enough to put the text
into an HTML template file.

New pot-files prompt some new translation questions....
1. There's "'Within' variance" as well as "within
variance" (same for
"between") -- isn't one of them redundant?
1.a Same with "/Analysis" vs. "/_Analysis"
2. /Save/sep1 -- needs no translation, but of course doesn't do any harm
3. What are "public interfaces"?
4. What's the context of "Call"?
Thanks,
Sven

Yes, sorry, you may ignore the second variant; I'll remove it.
1.a Same with "/Analysis" vs. "/_Analysis"
Actually we need both of those, for different contexts.
2. /Save/sep1 -- needs no translation, but of course doesn't do
any harm
I'll prune this (and others like it) out of the translation
lists.
3. What are "public interfaces"?
Hmm, programmer's jargon: a function which is accessible to
users. The context is the new mechanism for creating "function
packages". The idea is that such packages may contain zero or
more "private" helper functions, but they must define a public
interface, that is, actually make some function available to
users. Perhaps this should be re-worded.
4. What's the context of "Call"?
When looking at a user-defined function, there's a "Call" button
to call (i.e. execute) the function.

New subject: model dialog boxes: small question
In my opinion it should be like it is now. No changes are necessary.

Subject: [Gretl-users] model dialog boxes: small question
As part of the general tidy-up of the GUI, I'm wondering about
the model dialogs where two sets of variables may be selected,
for example TSLS (Independent variables and Instruments), VAR
and VECM (Endogenous variables and Exogenous variables).
For "historic" reasons connected with the original design of the
model dialog, it was easier to place the "primary" selection
(that is, Independent variables in TSLS, Endogenous variables in
VAR and VECM) in the lower right position. However, I think it
might be more intuitive for new users if the primary selection
were above. Agreement or disagreement?
Allin.
